"I am a Uruguayan sociologist with a Master’s in Gender and Development whose work advances inclusive water governance through multi‑country projects, gender analysis, and participatory territorial planning in river basins, coastal zones, and transboundary environments."

"My lived experience working across Uruguay, Argentina, and the Plata Basin has shaped my approach to water as a space where gender, territory, community resilience, and environmental justice intersect, driving my commitment to inclusive and equitable governance."

"I am committed to strengthening gender‑responsive water governance by integrating community voices, policy analysis, and multi‑actor coordination to ensure equitable access, resilient ecosystems, and inclusive decision‑making in water and environmental management."

Water Experience

I am a Uruguayan sociologist with a Master’s degree in Gender and Development from FLACSO Ecuador. I bring extensive experience coordinating multi‑country projects and supporting UNDP and UNDRR initiatives related to coastal management, transboundary waters, climate resilience, and gender‑responsive environmental governance. My work integrates participatory territorial diagnostics, community engagement, and gender analysis to strengthen inclusive water governance. I have facilitated regional cooperation processes across Uruguay, Argentina, and the Plata Basin, promoting equitable access to water resources and enhancing local capacities through policy design, stakeholder coordination, and sustainable development strategies.
